macOS27 Classic 16: hangs when deleting photo(s) from library

On macOS27, LR Classic is hanging when I try to delete a photo from my library. Happens with either a single, a few, or a lot of photos. Hit “delete” and the UI hangs. Exports currently underway keep running but the UI is unresponsive. Force quit required. Happened on Classic 15, didn’t report since I assumed it was a macOS27 compatibility thing, but it’s still happening exactly the same on Classic 16.

Sometimes the delete works, but most of the time it doesn’t. Getting pretty annoying now.

    Relatively unreliable “but sometimes works” hack is to hit ⌘delete → “there are no rejected photos to delete” window → try delete again → sometimes works.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
